Sefton unit's 70th Birthday

Sefton unit will be 70 years "young" on the 19th May 2012.

We will be parading from the unit to St Philips Church to rededicate our unit colour, leaving the unit at 15.30 for the service at 16.00, we will then march back to the unit for a buffet lunch.

Everyone is invited, family and friends, cadets/staff old and new, it would be good to see lots of support for our unit celebration.

We hope that quite a few “VIPs‘” will be in attendance and hope that the day will be well attended,

TS Starling Cadet does it again!

For the second year in a row James Middleton has won the 2011 Sea Cadets National Championship in his Laser Radial dinghy with straight firsts in every race. The regatta was held at Southport Marine lake over the weekend of 15 & 16th October.

James, a Sacred Heart Catholic College 6^th Form student is also an Able Cadet at TS Starling in Litherland, He competed with regional teams selected from Units throughout the UK. With James’s lead the North West Team went on to be overall Winners in the Mixed Dinghy Class. James is also based at Crosby Sailing Club within The Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre

Next year it is hoped that the Sea Cadets Nation Sailing Championships will be run at The Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre for the first time.

Units are graded from needing improvement, to exceeding the levels expected, the very good Units receive a “Pennant” award whilst the units judged to be among the best are awarded a “Burgee”.

I am pleased to announce that TS Starling, Sefton Sea Cadets, have been awarded a “Burgee” grading which is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved in the running of our Unit.

I would like to congratulate the Staff, Committee Members and especially all of our Cadets for all their hard work over the last 12 months in making TS Starling one of the best units in the United Kingdom
